George Huxley regarded the identification of Apollo with the Minoan deity Paiawon, worshipped in Crete, to have originated at Delphi. In the ''Homeric Hymn'', Apollo appeared as a dolphin and carried Cretan priests to Delphi, where they evidently transferred their religious practices. ''Apollo Delphinios'' or ''Delphidios'' was a sea-god especially worshipped in Crete and in the islands.<ref>Martin Nilsson (1967). Vol&nbsp;I, p.&nbsp;554 A4</ref> Apollo's sister [[Artemis]], who was the Greek goddess of hunting, is identified with [[Britomartis]] (Diktynna), the Minoan "Mistress of the animals". In her earliest depictions she was accompanied by the "Master of the animals", a bow-wielding god of hunting whose name has been lost; aspects of this figure may have been absorbed into the more popular Apollo.<ref name="Nilsson499">Martin Nilsson (1967), Vol I, pp. 499–500</ref>
